Along the middle Rhine, there is a castle on average every 1.5 miles. Most of the castles were destroyed or seriously damaged in 1689 by troops of the "Sun King", Louis X1V. In the 19th Century, may of the castles were restored or rebuilt by the so called "castle romantics". Our cruise directory described the Rhine Gorge as being like Disneyland...it is all a fantasy.
